“Having a go” – Amorim furious with Man Utd star who let Bruno down | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim lost his cool as Diogo Dalot committed back-to-back blunders in the first half against Nottingham Forest.

This has been a closely contested affair at City Ground, with both sides creating dangerous chances. However, the visitors headed to half-time with a slim lead thanks to Casemiro, who headed home Bruno Fernandes’ corner kick.

The Red Devils will attempt to maintain their advantage, and subsequently register their fourth victory on the trot.

However, it wasn’t all roses for MUFC in the first 45 minutes, as the team had its nervy moments, as evidenced by Amorim’s angry reaction from the sidelines.

Ruben Amorim unhappy with Diogo Dalot

According to The Sun journalist Samuel Luckhurst, the Portuguese manager was furious with his compatriot Dalot due to two separate incidents.

On the first occasion, the wing-back didn’t follow up on a give-and-go with his captain, Bruno Fernandes. Afterwards, he wasn’t placed properly to track Nicolo Savona’s run down the right flank.

“Amorim having a go at Dalot over his positioning,” posted Luckhurst on his X account while attending the match at City Ground.

“Didn’t run onto a give-and-go with Fernandes and then poorly placed for the ball over the top for Savona.”

Luckily for Dalot, United escaped unscathed on the second occasion, as Savona failed to deliver a proper ball to his teammate in the box.

Nevertheless, this should serve as an alarm bell for the 26-year-old, as the team cannot afford any complacency against a hungry team fueled by the support of their home supporters.

Dalot risks losing starting spot

Interestingly, many consider the Portugal international to be the weakest link in Man Utd’s lineup. However, Dalot is a favourite for Amorim according to several accounts, which should be a surprise given how the two are fellow countrymen.

But with Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu on the bench, the pressure is on the former Milan player to deliver the goods, or risk losing his spot in the lineup.

Update: Morgan Gibbs White and Nicolo Savona have turned the result upside-down shortly after the interval, taking a 2-1 lead.
